Cops in Indiana rescued Christmas for kids at a local family after they were ‘burgled’ on Christmas Eve.

A spokesman for the South Bend Police Department (SBPD) said that instead of Santa Claus, it was the Grinch that broke into the home of the family on Christmas Eve and stole Christmas presents.

Then shared the image of the cops bringing Christmas good cheer to the family with the excited kids.

They also shared a video with the message: “We interrupt our road condition updates to bring you a video you need to see this Christmas Eve.

“Earlier today, day shift officers responded to a Breaking & Entering complaint at a home in South Bend. After talking to the homeowner, officers learned that Christmas gifts had been taken, leaving the children with nothing for the holidays.

“Luckily there were enough gifts left over from a toy drive organised by the South Bend FOP Lodge #36 Santa’s Elficers program.”

The message concluded: “The Grinch was no match for the Elficers team.”
